A Drink from Fathers Well.

The dying man, who was SO poor at
this moment that he could not purchase
one hOur of time, was rich in the worldly
pos ,essions he was about to leave forever.
He had houses and lands and bank
stock. He had rich viands to tempt his
failing appetite. 1t was his pleasure to
drink of many different wines at his grand
dinners. Yet his restless spirit craved one
luxury-a simple, homely thing-that all
his wealth could not buy.
Listen!
He is speaking and they bend eagerly
to hear. He is asking for a drink.
His wife presses n goblet to his lips
filled with a sweet and cooling draught.
He refuses it.

him to take it.

He speaks wildly, and they bend low
and try to distinguish his broken and
faltering words.
"Bring-me-the-gourd!'

despair.

l have a theory regarding preventing
gray hair which l think is new. AT least
I have no heard anybody else advance it.
1t is this, that when the head is attacked
by disease either one of three things must
give way: the brain, the hair or the color
of the hair. If the hair gives way the
man becomes bald; if the color of the
hair yields then prematurely gray hair is
induced. 1t is easy to see that either of
these results is preferable to the failure of
the brain. and of all three it is better that
the hair should turn gray than that the
brain should weaken or the subject be-
come bald. Young men with gray hair
may find considerable consolation in this
theory Of mine if they cannot find any
thing else in it.-Dr. c. II. Hughes in
Globe Democrat.

Released upon the ground the beavers
make off, with u curious shambling gait,
a compound Of shuttle and a waddle,
with a strong tendency to fall forward
upon the nose at every step. On closer
examination the cause of this ungraceful
style of locomution was found to be two
fold; first, their hind legs were at least
one third longer than their fore legs, the
extra length being in the femur; and
secondly, they were digitigrade in front,
and plantigrade behind, or, as our French
cook, Francois, expressed it: "Ze front

Tho PROPER N.utsh Dance.

The Nautch girls arranged themselves
into a half circle, their scarlet costumes
forming a bright crescent terminating at
either end in a mass of spectators, whose
half naked bodies, varying in color from
pale olive to mahogany, were arrayed in
costumes scarcely less snowy than the
dancers. The chaperone tom IONS an
appropriate Nautch accompaniment on a
drum with his fingers and four pretty
girls advance from the half circle and,
favoring me with a quartet of killing
smiles and a quartet of coquettish glance5
from their bright, dark eyes, they COM
mence to dance. An idea seems to pre-
vail in Occidental minds that the Indian
Nautch dance is a very naughty thing,
but nothing is further from the truth.
OF course. it can be made naughty, and,
no doubt, often is, but then SO can many
another form of innocent amusement.
The proper Nautch dance is a decorous
and artistic performance when properly
danced; the graceful motions and elegant
proportions Of the human form, as re-
vealed by 1.-the and graceful dancers, are
to be viewed with an eye purely artistic
and critical as q Venus or other produc-
ton of the sculptor's studio. Only the
British matron would consider a Nautch

Of the right hand, spreading its ample
folds into the figure of an open fan by
bringing the outstretched arm almost on

l have already alluded to the frequency
with which the simple rustics seek to
avert danger by the signs of the cross;
during this thunder storm it positively
assumed the form of a grotesque, gym
nastic exercise, being done simultaneously
by 20 many. With each clap of thunder
every man, woman and child, stricken
with instant terror and hushed into
breathless silence, fell into a paroxysm
of rapid crossing which continued about
a quarter of a minute, and then, with an
apparent consciousness of security, opened
conversation again. An amusing feature
of their picturesque evolutions was the
fact that they followed each roll of thun-
der, while every fash of lightning was
witnessed with utter NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
